101 – Program Choices

In the Program Choices section, you can add, delete, change and order your program choices. This is also the section where you can respond to university offers of admission. View the 101 How-to videos for detailed instructions.

You may apply to as many Ontario universities/programs as you wish; however, you are limited to a maximum of 3 program choices at any 1 university (including affiliates).

Some universities may further limit the number of programs you can apply to. Consult the university information sections in this Application Guide for more information or contact the universities directly.

Order Choices

It does not typically matter how you number your university or program choices on your application.

Whether you list a university or a specific program as first, second, third, etc., on the application is not normally a factor in the universities’ admissions decisions.

A university must make its policy clear in its own information where there are exceptions. Consult the university information sections in this Application Guide for more information or contact the universities directly.

Your numbered list of choices does provide valuable information to the university admission offices, particularly for limited enrollment programs. Admission officials use this data to project the number of applicants who are likely to accept offers of admission, so the university can plan its resources accordingly.
